The Most Beautiful Art Tour in Alberta

The Most Beautiful Art Tour in Alberta Brochure

On the weekend of September 29 to October 1, an annual event offers incredible opportunities to visit two private artist studios - one working in hot glass, the other in paper and fibre - as well as a two beloved destination galleries with an abundance of artist demos, talks, and free activities.

From Millarville to Black Diamond, and along HWY 22 (The Cowboy Trail) the two galleries – The Leighton Art Centre, and Bluerock Gallery – will be hosting special arts events at their locations, as well as the two renowned Alberta artists’ studios which will be open to the public – Firebrand Glass Studios, and Kristoferson Studios.

Touring between these arts venues makes for a most beautiful drive for art-lovers, with truly amazing views of the southern Alberta foothills. With superbly curated and locally made art at each location, this could be the beginning of holiday shopping made easy, with handmade gifts available for purchase (and sometimes also gift-wrapped) at each stop. This easy road trip to these beloved art destinations is a great day-trip for Calgarians.

Throughout the day there will be hot glass demos, painting demos, local jewelry artists, potters, and local authors signing their books – all against the backdrop of the glorious vistas of the Foothills and the Rocky Mountains!
